When the Nieuw Amsterdam sets sail for the Caribbean on two 7-day voyages, guests will be able to watch these four fan favourites take the stage to perform routines from the ABC’s hit TV show as well as exciting new choreographed dances. Additional events on these cruises include dance lessons with the ship’s professional dancers, a special fashion show featuring glamorous show costumes from the TV show, and a chance to meet the stars, ask questions and take pictures.

“It’s been a wonderful partnership between Holland America Line and Dancing with the Stars over the last few years,” added Orlando Ashford, the cruise line’s president. “The program added an engaging element to our cruises that many guests embraced with passion and dedication. We are thankful to Dancing with the Stars and BBC Worldwide for an amazing run.”

If you haven’t competed leading up to the Champions Cruise, there are still some open dates to attempt to make the finals.

Winners of the guest competitions with the highest scores from each of Holland America’s ships will receive a free oceanview stateroom for two on the Champions Cruise. Then they’ll compete for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy and title of Dancing with the Stars: At Sea champion.

One winner from each ship will compete on the Champions Cruise.

All for now.
